Manufacturers
Invoice from production billing with correct tax treatment per supply category.
Manufacturing & distribution
FBR invoicing from factory to distributor
Manufacturers and distributors juggle ERP billing, multiple buyer types, and strict tax treatment. eInvoicePro connects your systems to FBR without rebuilding compliance inside SAP or custom software.
Who it’s for
Manufacturing & distribution teams
From single-plant producers to multi-entity distribution networks that already live in ERP.
Distributors
High-volume dispatch invoicing with bulk and API paths that match route cycles.
IT & finance
ERP integration without a multi-year custom FBR build on the critical path.
Architecture choice
Custom FBR build vs eInvoicePro API
Both can work on paper. The difference shows up in ownership cost after month three.
Custom build
Own the FBR connection yourself
- Full control — and full responsibility for every schema change
- Longer calendar time before the first clean production invoice
- Compliance updates compete with other ERP backlog
- Makes sense only if you have a dedicated integration team forever
eInvoicePro API
Maintain commercial systems; buy the FBR layer
- Faster path from mapping to sandbox to live traffic
- Faubix maintains FBR-facing updates; you maintain field mapping
- Bulk and validation included instead of reinvented
- Fits manufacturers who want ERP focus on operations, not tax plumbing
Integration path
From ERP to FBR in four stages
A sequence that keeps finance, IT, and plant ops aligned — instead of a big-bang cutover.
Map invoice types
Finance defines tax treatment for each supply category your plants actually ship.
Connect ERP
IT links SAP, Dynamics, or custom billing to the eInvoicePro API with clear field ownership.
Test in sandbox
Run representative invoices — including awkward edge cases — before go-live.
Monitor live traffic
Track submissions and resolve rejections with named owners in finance and IT.
Capabilities
What factory and distribution IT need
Outcomes for engineering and finance leads — not a generic digital transformation pitch.
ERP-agnostic API
Connect SAP, Dynamics, Oracle, or custom billing — keep the ERP as source of truth.
Bulk submission
Queue high dispatch volumes without forcing clerks into one-by-one portal entry.
Sandbox before go-live
Test edge cases with safe credentials before production billing traffic turns on.

FAQ
What manufacturing IT teams ask
Practical answers for CIOs, ERP leads, and finance controllers.
Do we need to change our ERP to comply with FBR digital invoicing?
No. eInvoicePro sits alongside SAP, Dynamics, Oracle, or custom billing as a submission layer. Your ERP remains the commercial source of truth; the API carries validated invoice data toward FBR and returns official proof your print or archive processes can store.
How do multi-plant or multi-entity manufacturers set this up?
Finance defines which legal entities invoice which supply types; IT maps plant or company codes to the right credentials and tax treatment. Book a demo to walk through entity structure, access controls, and whether one integration serves all plants or staged go-lives are safer.
What should we test in sandbox before live ERP traffic?
Run representative invoices — not only happy paths. Include inter-company quirks, export or exempt treatments your advisor confirms, credit notes, high line-item counts, and the exact buyer types you ship to. Sandbox is where field mapping mistakes should fail, not production.
Who owns FBR rejections after go-live — IT or finance?
Successful deployments name both. IT owns connection health and payload mapping; finance owns tax treatment and buyer master quality. eInvoicePro surfaces clear failure reasons so the right team fixes the right class of error without a blame loop.
What if FBR schemas or rules change after we integrate?
Rule and schema changes are a recurring cost of DIY gateway builds. With eInvoicePro, Faubix maintains the FBR-facing layer so your ERP team is not rebuilding compliance logic every quarter — you still confirm business treatment with your tax advisor.
